Two solutions exist (Tall Trajectory and flat Trajectory).The Given - Find routine finds only one solution, depending on the guessvalues chosen. Therefore we must solve twice, using multiple guessvalues. We can also solve explicitly, by inserting one equation into thesecond:

12.8 Polar coordinates

In a polar coordinate system, the velocity vector can be written as v = vrur + vθuθ = rur +ru. The term is called

A) transverse velocity.

B) radial velocity.

C) angular velocity.

D) angular acceleration
